COHERENT-projektet, der nu er to år ind i dets treårige varighed, inviterer til et seminar inden for rammerne af kyststyring og beskyttelse med ekstern deltagelse og præsentationer af eksterne partnere, advisory board members og COHERENT partners.
Coastal management and protection in the context of the COHERENT project
November 14, 2019 | 12.00 – 14.45
DTU meeting centre, building 101, Møderum 2, 1st floor
In relation to the COHERENT project, which is now two years into its three year duration, we would like to invite to a seminar within the context of coastal management and protection with external participation and keynote presentations by Zoran Vojinovic, IHE Delft, and Christian Helledie, Niras.
The COHERENT project addresses coastal management and protection in a broad setting from geophysical flood modelling, stakeholder interaction and end-user needs, economic damage cost calculation and tool development - all at temporal scales from immediate hazard prevention to climate change adaptation. In addition to these topics, the seminar will also include future perspectives as also facilitated by an open debate where contributions by participants are welcome.
